The growth of crypto-mining and AI in the US has led to a surge in data center electricity demand, primarily met by fossil fuels, conflicting with decarbonization goals. This chapter explores the challenges of supplying power to data center…

This study examines how board gender diversity affects the quality of climate impact disclosure in UK nonfinancial firms. Using a novel text-analysis-based index, it finds that boards with at least four female directors significantly enhanc…

Kartal M.T.

This paper examines the relationship between physical climate risk and green bond issuance using disaggregated US data and novel quantile-based methods. It provides empirical evidence on whether climate risk drives green finance, contributi…

Kerr S.

This paper analyzes the design and implications of an upstream point of regulation for energy in China's national ETS. It argues that upstream regulation can expand coverage and simplify enforcement, but may distort price signals and raise …

Farkas M.

This paper discusses the design of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), drawing on management systems theory to argue for a strategic approach. It proposes integrating disclosure requirements into corporate strategy…

This study analyzes voluntary sustainability disclosures of 99 large Italian unlisted companies using a 94-item CSRD-aligned grid, finding that compliance burden is substantial and uneven. Governance, planning, and performance disclosures a…

Haibo Du, Youping Zhao

This paper presents a multi-agent simulation framework to explain ESG rating divergence among agencies. Using CSI 300 firms, it shows weight differences alone cause significant divergence (4.19 points), low disclosure quality amplifies it b…

This study uses agent-based modeling (ABM) to simulate how building reuse and deconstruction choices affect city-wide embodied carbon emissions in Ithaca, NY. Comparing four scenarios, it finds that maximizing preservation achieves the lowe…

Rice paddies are a major source of agricultural GHG emissions, but current emission factors fail to capture variability. This Perspective argues that advances in measurement, modeling, and remote sensing enable higher-tier MRV systems (Tier…

Sensheng Li, Minjun Huang, Fuping Wang +3

Proposes a hybrid ET-MVMD-GRU framework for carbon price forecasting across six Chinese pilot ETSs. Integrates feature selection, multi-scale decomposition, and deep learning, outperforming 10 competing models on MAE, RMSE, and MAPE. Offers…

Yiran Feng

Using panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies (2013-2023) and a DID approach, this paper finds that carbon trading policy significantly increases greenwashing behavior, yet has no significant impact on traditional financial indicator…

Eka Sudarmaji

This systematic review and quantitative synthesis examines the gap between administrative/disclosure-based carbon accounting and physically measured sensor-based methods. Engineered systems like UAV-LiDAR forest and building models show hig…

Da Pan, Chao Wang, Shengmin Zhao

Using China's Paris Agreement signing as a quasi-natural experiment, this study shows that climate transition risk significantly increases firms' capital income share. Mechanisms include reduced operating costs, capital deepening, technolog…

Hui Yuan, Shuxian Zheng

This study analyzes the impact of U.S. tariffs on Chinese PV products on embodied carbon emissions using MRIO and GTAP-E models. Extreme tariffs cause China's PV emissions to rebound by 4.9% during 2025-2027 and U.S. emissions to surge by 3…
